Jay was a good friend and a close classmate. Though we didn't have much interaction after graduation, we spent a lot of time together as cadets.

I am SO sorry I was not alerted to his passing before too late. I would have traveled there from South Carolina otherwise.

He was an extremely fair man. Very intelligent, and far seeing.
